==Example of using the Census Addon==

+

+

This is an example of how to get started with the Census Addon after it is installed as described above. The 1941 UK census is used as the example:

+

# Start or open a family tree in Gramps.

+

# Add a person (name and gender) if this is a new family tree.

+

# Go to the Source view.

+

# Add a source with a title like "Source for 1841 Census"

+

# Open that source and go to the "Data" tab.

+

# Click on the plus symbol to add a key and value.

+

# Fill in in the key column with "Census" and hit enter.

+

# Click on Value column and fill in "UK1841", hit enter.

+

# Click on OK.

+

# Reopen the Source to see if the key and value pair have been successfully stored in the "Data" tab (optional).

+

# Go to the People view and switch on the sidebar (View->sidebar).

+

# Add the "Census Gramplet" by rightclicking on the side bar and choosing "Add Gramplet->Census Gramplet".

+

# Select the person that you created (or an existing person that appears in that census) in the main window.

+

# In the Census Gramplet on the sidebar, click "New".

+

# The New Census" gramplet form should open and you can click on the arrow down bútton to the right of "Source". You should see the "Source for 1841 Census". Select this.

+

# Now you can enter all of the details from the census (e.g. Reference to the page and the address), and then add people in the normal Gramps way.

Configuration

Before using the census addons you need to define which of your sources are census sources.

To do this you need to edit each source and add an entry in the Data tab. The entry must have a key of "Census" and a value which is a code that identifies the census. After typing the value code you must press "Enter" before clicking "OK", or the value will not be saved.

Supported values are:

Census Gramplet

The census gramplet consists of a census listing and a census editor.

Census Listing

When the gramplet is loaded it lists all the census events for the active person. The listing displays the census source, date and place.

A new census event can be created by clicking the "New" button at the bottom of the gramplet.

An existing census event can be edited either by highlighting a row and clicking the "Edit" button or by double-clicking on a row.

Census Editor

Census edition

The census editor is designed so that most census data can be entered into a single form.

The first thing to enter is the census source. This is selected from a drop-down list at the top of the editor.

Once the source has been selected the census date is populated automatically.

Next a source reference can be entered. This should comprise of one or more references that uniquely identify the census entry. In the case of a UK census you will need to enter the PRO reference, Piece, Folio and Page.

A place can be selected in the usual Gramps manner.

At the bottom of the editor there is a table which allows the user to enter data specific to individual people listed on the census return. A new person can be created and then added to the census by clicking the "+" button. A person already in Gramps can be added to the census by clicking the second button ("share"). A census source must be selected before people can be added to the list, and after the first person is added, the source can no longer be changed.

The cells in the table are editable. By clicking on a cell, the user can enter data from the census return into a corresponding column in the table.

A person can be removed from the list by clicking the "-" button.

The order of people in the list can be changed by highlighting a row and then using the up and down arrow buttons.

The census data can then be saved by clicking the "OK" button or discarded using "Cancel".

Samples

Census Report

The census report prints census events in a format similar to the original census entries.

Which censuses are printed is determined by settings in the Report Options.

A drop-down list allows the following options:

By Person

By Source

By Person and Source

All Census records

Use the first option to print all census records for a given person. This defaults to the current person but can be changed using a selector.

Use the second option to print all census records for a given source. Select the required source from the drop-down list.

The third option can be used to print a single census. Both the person and source selections are taken into account.

NarrativeWeb Report

Data Storage

Each census return is stored as a single event record with an event type of "Census".

The chosen source is attached to the event and contents of the "Reference" field are stored and the "Volume/Page" field of the associated source reference object.

The "Date" and "Place" fields are stored in the event object.

Each person in the table is attached to the event. The contents of the table are stored as attributes in the associated event reference object. The attribute type is set to the column heading and the value is set to the contents of the cell. An additional attribute called "Order" contains an integer which defines the position that the person appears in the census.

The addons will read existing data in this format. If "Order" attributes do not exist, they will be created when the editor saves a record. Until then the order of the people in the census will not be defined.

Data can also be edited using the usual Gramps editors.

Example of using the Census Addon

This is an example of how to get started with the Census Addon after it is installed as described above. The 1941 UK census is used as the example:

Start or open a family tree in Gramps.

Add a person (name and gender) if this is a new family tree.

Go to the Source view.

Add a source with a title like "Source for 1841 Census"

Open that source and go to the "Data" tab.

Click on the plus symbol to add a key and value.

Fill in in the key column with "Census" and hit enter.

Click on Value column and fill in "UK1841", hit enter.

Click on OK.

Reopen the Source to see if the key and value pair have been successfully stored in the "Data" tab (optional).

Go to the People view and switch on the sidebar (View->sidebar).

Add the "Census Gramplet" by rightclicking on the side bar and choosing "Add Gramplet->Census Gramplet".

Select the person that you created (or an existing person that appears in that census) in the main window.

In the Census Gramplet on the sidebar, click "New".

The New Census" gramplet form should open and you can click on the arrow down bútton to the right of "Source". You should see the "Source for 1841 Census". Select this.

Now you can enter all of the details from the census (e.g. Reference to the page and the address), and then add people in the normal Gramps way.

Fill in the details from the census page against each person.

Known Issues

When using the census editor the user should not edit the same event using the standard Gramps event editor.

When the save button in the editor is clicked, the person records of the people in the census are updated. If a person is being edited using the Gramps person editor and the record is saved then data saved using the census editor will be lost for this person.
